🪙 1863 Indian Head Cent

Copper-Nickel | Civil War Era "White Cent" | Philadelphia Mint

This 1863 Indian Head Cent is a genuine piece of Civil War history. Struck during one of the most pivotal years of the conflict, these "White Cents" were highly valued by the public for their high nickel content during a time when metal hoarding was common. The 1863 issue is a quintessential representative of the wartime economy, featuring James B. Longacre's classic design that would go on to become one of the most recognizable faces in American coinage.

Note: This coin is in Circulated condition, displaying the characteristic wear of a cent that likely saw duty during the mid-1860s. You will see softening on the feathers of the headdress and the word "LIBERTY," though the overall silhouette remains distinct. The copper-nickel surfaces have taken on a pleasing, authentic patina. There are no major gouges or distracting flaws, just honest evidence of its historical journey. Please inspect the high-resolution macro photos to judge the remaining detail and overall eye appeal for yourself.
